The Community OutPost

St. Cloud Rotary Community Outpost

The first-of-its-kind in the state of Minnesota, the Community OutPost is being modeled after a similar program in Racine, Wisconsin.

The OutPost

In Racine, they experienced a 70 percent reduction in violent crime in the area surrounding their first house. They now have seven houses in their program and an ongoing 20-year endowment.

The Community OutPost team collaborates with residents, community groups, businesses, and St. Cloud State University, to assess community needs; build and maintain relationships; and improve access to needed health, wellness, and other services. Gold Cross Ambulance, CentraCare Health, and Stearns County Social Services have designated space in the new facility.

Project made possible by:

The open house is the culmination of two years of work between the St. Cloud Police Department, the Greater St. Cloud Public Safety Foundation, numerous service organizations, educational partners and local companies. The total cost of the project is an estimated $400,000 with $250,000 coming from in-kind services and $150,000 in cash donations. The Rotary Club of St. Cloud provided the lead gift of $75,000.
